| Hey Guys,I have two computers (KJMDESKTOP and KJMLAPTOP) on a home network (XP). Each computer has SQLexpress installed on it.I know the computers can see each other as they are able to ping each other.I can't seem to add a logon (windows authentication) for one computer to be able to access a database on the other. Perhaps I need some sort of authentication between the computers (I am not an IT expert :) ).Is there a document somewhere that details the steps?I would imaging it is easy but I have been trying for ages and I can't seem to find any articles on the web.TIA,Kevin |

You don't have a domain at home I presume?Create a SQL login on the two databases, with same name and password.Or you want to create a linked server between the two databases?

| Hey Peso,I tried that without much luck.I don't really understand what a domain is. Is it possible to set one up at home? Are there instructions anywhere on the web?TIA,Kevin |
